Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental chemicals and non-chemical stressors, including heat stress, cause deteriorating kidney health. This Special Issue aims to enhance our understanding of the cumulative risk factors that influence kidney function and diseases throughout a person’s life.
A growing list of environmental chemicals pose significant challenges to kidney health, including toxic and essential trace elements, per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), pesticides, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), nano-plastics, and other nano- or micro-particles. Additional converging factors play pivotal roles in promoting kidney disease and dysfunction, such as heat stress, humidity, adverse birth outcomes (such as a low birth weight and preterm birth), pregnancy-related conditions, like hypertensive disorders and diabetes, as well as social determinants of health.
The Special Issue will encompass a wide range of research articles, including basic science, translational, and epidemiological studies. With this collection of studies, we aim to shed light on recent advancements in the field of environmental kidney health.
